PURIFY THE ALBUM: LOST SCROLLS available 1.13.12


After the highly anticipated arrival of 'Purify The Album' last January. Myc Ripley [ME] is returning again in the new year to bring to you the second installment to the album. "Purify The Album : Lost Scrolls" available at his bandcamp site on January 13th, 2012 [1.13.12]

YES!! It is Friday the 13th. That doesn't matter though because it is a sacred day.. If you know your history and have done the research you would've known by know that 13 is a sacred number (ie. 12 disciples & Jesus or 12 Knights & King Arthur) Why do you think all the institutions have deemed it as an 'evil' number? Just to hide the true significance. Still, that's something you can find on your own time.

Lost Scrolls is the remaining songs that were not able to be placed on the first album. It will contain 13 tracks [12 & 1 bonus], production by Dave Slappelle, Healthy Fresh Productions, Da Ill Suspect, Dubs Attic, Sean Blak and Phya Armz Ent.. have to say it is definitely a refreshing thing to come from yours truly. Be ready, your speakers will not be mad at you for coppin this one.. It will be a free download! Although, the previous album will stay at $3.50 [20tracks] Bless up, Give love, show light and live peace!!

408 & Heartbreak - Myc Ripley | Available on Valentine's Day | 2.14.12

As the year comes to a close, as well as many relationships (including one of my own). I've decided to take on the mission or idea created by a good producer friend of mine. This project will deal with life in a relationship and life after relationships, especially deep rooted ones.


No, this will not be a sappy "I love you, come back to me" type of album. This will be that unadulterated, look into my life music. Just as I did "Purify the album" this will let you into a part of my life which has been a weight on my shoulders this year, if not for a couple years now.


Production for this album consists solely of instrumentation by Dave Slappelle and Healthy Fresh. Be on the lookout come February for this release from San Jose's own Myc Ripley. "408 & Heartbreak."

Here is a sneak peek at the cover art done by MRGrafhx. Also, a bonus track from the album. I normally don't do mixtape tracks, but this one was too perfect for me to promo with.. Enjoy!

Once again, life calls and I need to answer the door this time...



I know I've been mentioning a step back for your boy in the next coming month.. its funny because I found this in my email this morning.. I'll be at y'all.. if you have my number use it.. all others, I'll be in contact..



A state of standstill is a state of decline. Confusion and disorder prevail. Inferior elements are on the rise, while the powers of clarity and creativity are waning. In such times, the wise take shelter in their own integrity and quietly remain faithful to their highest selves. Retreat from public activities and common exchanges until the time once again favors assertive action.

During periods of stagnation, inferior elements can rise to power. When the inmates are overrunning the asylum, summon up your fortitude, hide your worth and withdraw. Concentrate on your personal affairs with a quiet dignity, even if that means giving up short-term rewards.

Desiring to change a situation too quickly often creates extra conflict. By accepting hardship, while striving to maintain integrity, you are preparing for future growth. A seed of prosperity is often hidden inside the husk of misfortune.

In the mean time don't forget to link up with me on Twitter (@mycripley) and Facebook (http://facebook.com/mychoggripley) and jam out to the tunes from my Soundcloud under the post.. If you would like to purchase some of my music please visit the Bandcamp, it has a good amount of music which you can download for free or purchase for the small price of $2 an album.. Thanks, enjoy life, and keep your head up!! Peace and Blessings of the most high.

PURIFY The Album - 1.11.11




First off, let me start by saying, "HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!" I really appreciate all the support and great words that have been given to me these last couple of months since my return from trying to commit suicide. That is all behind me now, as a new year begins and solidifies the year anniversary of that particular incident.

Now, I'm back on my grind and have released a mixtape compiled of all original songs that essentially played a factor in the said incident. This FREE mixtape 'Amidst The Darkness - The Prequel' is available via ReverbNation or Bandcamp in digital download form. Whichever one you fancy. This is a digital release only, make sure you pick this up. You'll be able to understand 'PURIFY The Album' in its entirety.

Still in all, you can fully understand the new album as it is definitely inspirational music. It takes you upon a "journey through the independent quadrant of the 408." Staying true to himself and never compromising his style or lyrical content, Myc Ripley is definitely making a statement in San Jose with this album. With topics such as, overcoming self loathing and suicide attempt, conspiracies, losing a job, and having twins amongst other things.

Contributing to "PURIFY The Album" are many producers from San Jose to Romania and the UK such as, Healthy Fresh Productions (SJ), Killah Records (Romania), & Dot Rotten (UK) along with others. Also, features fellow emcee Tequila Brown, who partners with Myc Ripley to make 'Sharkstyliens'. Oneself DaVinci & Ikaika Da Strong appear courtesy of Solar Power Music. Plus, Journeyman from EOS crew.

In closing, I would like to say, "THANK YOU" in advance for taking the time to catch up with me.. May this message reach you in good health, harmony and peace! Bless.. "PURIFY The Album" 01.11.11
